EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Posted on Jenna ScottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been very happy with our experience with Watch Me Grow. Our child is about to start school and I feel like they really helped her practice her colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. She started at 3 and blossomed being in a class with other kids. Her speech and social skills developed more quickly than at home. We’re sad to leave.Posted on Aaron GoldsberryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing daycare and very caring staff. We have sent our child here for the last couple of years and have never had a problem! Thank you for showing so much love to our little one!Posted on Destiny BurdickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really love this daycare. My son started here at 4 months old and I was scared to send him to daycare for the first time but everyone I have come across that works here has been super nice. Kellie that works in the nursery is really nice and always checks in on my baby when he’s sick and doesn’t show up to daycare. She always sends me pictures throughout the day of what he’s doing and they update you every time your baby eats, has a diaper change or takes a nap which gives such a peace of mind and lets me know he’s being taken good care of.Posted on HH FaustinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you are looking for great childcare give watch me grow a call 😁.Posted on Kristen ComeauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After having a very hard time putting my 8 week old in daycare I’m glad we chose this place. He’s now 4 months old and we feel like he’s very well taken care of. Daycare is very scary for a first time mom. We feel that he’s safe and loved here.Posted on Tina FoleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great childcare center!
